Pero yung reason ko now is I have two kids,” she added.</p><p>Jean assured her that her reason is valid as she felt the same way during her younger years.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/12/15/christian-bables-hints-at-new-project-with-jennica-garcia-1115"><strong>READ: Christian Bables hints at new project with Jennica Garcia<br/></strong></a></div><p>“Iba yung drive at tsaka yung maturity din. Nangyayari yun… Maski naman nung bata ako, parang wala yung budget ganyan di mo pinapansin kasi andami mong trabaho. So taken for granted mo siya pero once na natututo ka sa buhay, naexperience mo yung mga things na hindi maganda, mas nagkakaroon ng importansiya yung mga things na taken for granted,” Jean said.</p><p>In the same interview, Jennica admitted how it was easier for her to make a name for herself in the showbiz industry because of her mother.</p><p>“Oo naman. One of the things that I’m really grateful for. Iba kasi pag alam nila na anak ka ni Jean Garcia. Hindi na ganun kahirap para sayo kumpara sa mga ibang artista na mag aaudition talaga to get a role,” she said.</p>
